If convicted on all counts, Lozornio is facing up to 156 years in prison and up to $85K in fines.

Lozornio pled not guilty and is scheduled for pre-trial on July 23. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on Lozornio for a federal immigration law violation.

Lozornio had three prior felony child sexual assault charges, but were dismissed on June 8 and the charges were revised and reinstated on June 14 with additional charges, according to court records.

Court records show, that Lozornio pled no contest to two misdemeanor counts for 4th-degree sexual assault on December 18, 2001.
The recent criminal complaint states, that Lozornio agreed to take a lie detector test (polygraph exam) about the child molestation and sexual contact allegations filed against him and apparently he failed the test. He also attempted to coerce three witnesses from testifying in court.
